You have reached the IMG GuildComm, the central communications system of the Independent Miners Guild. Here we also answer to some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) regarding the Guild, which you might have. You should also note that all the messages in this channel and in the other IMG restricted channels, cannot be copied, photographed, etc. That is a measure against corporate spies and defectors.
This system is for the following users only:
IMG| Members
Independent IMG Affiliates
Allies of IMG
IMG| members are obliged to use Independent Miners Guild ID and IFF or the respective Guard ID and IFF. The following call-sign policy is applied and restricted to all the ships owned by IMG| pilots.
IMG|Char.Name - for small vessels
IMG|Ship.Name - for bigger vessels
FAQ: Technology
These explanations can help you understand better the exact meaning of some terms:
Technology = Both ships and weapons
Shipline = Only ships
Weaponry = Only weapons
The IMG| Membership has access to the following technology:
IMG Technology
Codename Weaponry
Sirius-wide Civilian Technology
Rheinland and Bretonian House Civilian Shipline
limited access to BHG ships and equipment
limited access to Colonial ships and equipment
IMG| Guild Members who wish to use the available technology are welcomed with the exception of the Sagarmatha Battlecruiser and the limited technology that we have been granted from other factions. In order to be granted permission to use technology which is part of these exceptions, they should submit a request in this channel. It it vital to include past accomplishments and contributions to the Guild.
The Independent Miners Guild has also a small number of ships in its fleet which are for public usage (shared). These can be given to full fledged members which have already contributed to the IMG. There are many of them and with various ship types therefore anyone who is interested should discuss it in the IMG Skype Communications with an Administration member.
If an IMG| member feels that AP Series (BHG technology) or Zoner technology suits him better, he should reply in this channel and request his wish to use the BHG or Zoner technology. After he receives a positive answer, he can negotiate with the respective faction for the purchase of their technology and he should expect that the Independent Miners Guild will support and vouch his decision.
The IMG| Armories have also an adequate number of Codename weaponry. If a Guild Member wants to use them instead of purchasing it from private contractors, he will be asked to submit a small amount of money for the codenames which will be returned to him when he returns the codenames back to the armory.
FAQ: Ranks
The Independent Miners Guild has a long tradition on treating it's members with outmost respect and fairness. Therefore it is devided to only 3 ranks which still ensure high effiency. These are:
- Guild Masters
- Guild Members
- Recruits
The Guild Masters have the authority to administer the Independent Miners Guild. Each one of them has different sections which they supervise while the important decisions regarding the Guild, are joint. The joint decisions are being taken by the Board of Guild Masters, the highest body in IMG. Meetings of the Board are not very often and usually happen on major issues regarding IMG. Some of the sections that Guild Masters supervise is the Bounty Board, the Tech Licensing Office, Paramilitary, diplomacy, politics and Legal Office or Recruitment and Human Resources. Of course there is a first among them, however his/her powers are much more limited than that of a corporate president.
The Guild Members are the absolute majority of the IMG personnel. They have the same rights each one of them regardless of their exact position. IMG has also the responsibility to support them from outsiders (ie. in a House court of law or if they are captured by pirates). Some examples of these positions can be the technicians, the escorts, the crew in spaceships, the bartenders, the doctors, etc. Note that IMG has also a big populace of whole families which even though some of their family members may not work for IMG (ie. the kids), they are still considered part of this rank.
It should be specified that skilled employees who have showed zeal in their work, can become Coordinators. These are the directors of all IMG personnel in a specific sector. However, Coordinators despite their special rank, are still Guild Members.
The Recruit Members are the newest additions in IMG which they need to prove their abilities and their determination to the IMG values. After they accomplish their department accomplishments, the Guild decides if they are ready to become fully fledged members. However, it should be noted that recruits are still treated with outmost respect.
FAQ:Guidelines
These guidelines can help you make the right decision in most occasions, however in special circumstances you should use your person judgement.
Despite the IMG's rapid expansion and increase, the Outcasts in the Taus and the Corsairs in southern Bretonia and the Omegas remain always a considerable threat and several patrols are commisioned to actively search for them and push them away from the sectors. All Guild Members are allowed to engage Outcasts or Corsairs in these regions if the odds are favorable to our side.
IMG is aware that there is a significant precense of aliens in the upper Taus and Rheinland Military vessels in the deep Omegas which are infested by these aliens. The aliens, in both their original form and within a human body remain not only a serious threat for IMG, but for the whole humanity. All IMG vessels should be very cautious when they encounter such vessels. Engagement and annihiliation of the hostiles is recommended if the odds are favorable.
This document which is visible only to Guild Members shows the current relations that IMG has with organisations and factions throughout Sirius. You are allowed to actively hunt and engage only the factions listed as "On War". The factions listed as "Unfriendly" means that you should be cautious with their intentions and engage only after the opponent has showed his intentions.
Last but not least, no IMG members are allowed to enter Guard systems except our own Tau-39, without the prior allowance of the faction which owns that system. Zone-21 in NY system, 30K around the Battleship Grimsby in Newcastle system, the Westerwald nebula in the Frankfurt system and Bremen system are also off-limits.
